   * When constructing a control, it will be non-nullable, and will reset to its initial value.

   * ```ts
   * let nnfb = new FormBuilder().nonNullable;

   * name.reset(); console.log(name); // {who: null}
   * ```
   *
   * Because the inner control is constructed explicitly by the caller, the builder has
   * no control over how it is created, and cannot exclude the `null`.
